Battle of the Open Baffles

Thanks @larryi !

I have spent inordinate amounts of time researching where to go speaker-wise as an alternative to my beloved Shahinian Obelisks and OB is my decision. Currently I'm leaning heavily towards the MACO Macarias in birch. 

@fastricky The imaging from my PAP Trio15 Classic is nothing short of spectacular. You get very exact positioning (width, depth and height), but unlike traditional box speakers, you also get lots and lots of ambient information, making the room feel "live".

I can honestly say that after going to OB speakers, I will never go back... and I've had some pretty high end "traditional" speakers including Wilson Watt/Puppy's.

@audiojan Thanks for that info, I'm absolutely sold on the OB direction. Did you listen to any other options aside from the PAP or did you just take the plunge? 

One other question I have - I've only got @ 6' c-to-c between my speakers, is that enough for the average OB?
